Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Twice Born focuses on character-driven storytelling set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War. The characters are complex, flawed, and their identity factors serve the plot rather than dominate it. No obvious signs of forced representation or ideology taking priority over narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film deals with heavy themes, war, motherhood, family loss, without mocking or undermining traditional family structures, masculinity, or religion. Cultural traditions and trauma are explored sincerely, not reinterpreted for modern ideological values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a variety of perspectives portrayed, with the narrative focused on personal suffering and complex morality. The film avoids cartoonishly villainizing traditional beliefs or presenting a single ideological perspective.
